#5464, "Cheap ebay coilovers part 2- MY FAULT"




          

Ok I blamed it on the coilovers that the back left collar fell off the metal bumps as well as the spring while I was driving.....

I take the blame.

I used the wrong metal o-ring. Did you know the back struts are thinner than the front?? I used the front orings which are wider..... SO thats why it fell.....

Of course this wouldnt have happened if cheap ebay coilovers had INSTUCTIONS AT ALL. I used some net instructions as best I could... I tried my best. I take most of the fault..... But I really woulda done perfect if I did have instructions.....

I got banned for being a constant tard.

hahahahha thats hillarious...

don't worry dude, i did the same thing. i have maxspeeds. one poped off 30 seconds into my test drive and the other came off the next day. i just assumed that the other metal ring was the correct one becuase i figured it would have fell off also.

Hehe skunk2's come with horrible instructions too. Yes, the rear struts are thinner, and I had to use different metal washers and O-rings, and it didn't sit nearly as good as the fronts when I put it together by hand, but it's held up for over half a year...
